Punia hillfort, Archaeological site in Punia Eldership, Lithuania.
The hillfort rises 30 meters high at the confluence of Nemunas and Punelė rivers, offering views across the surrounding forest and waterways.
The site dates back to 1382 and contains remnants of a medieval castle that was destroyed during battles with Teutonic Knights in 1336.
The location holds connections to Grand Duke Vytautas, who spent two months annually at his residence and ordered the construction of the first church.
Visitors can access the hillfort through a marked path leading west from the current church, with the Nečiuika spring located at its base.
Archaeological findings reveal two distinct castle structures on the mound, with the first dating to the 13th century and a replacement built in the 15th century.
